Gracie, well I'm a library type, so I'd have to say go to the public library and borrow one there!! If they don't have them ask them to a) purchase it for the collection or b) get one in for you from another library. I've just finished reading "Parenting by heart" but there is another one about settling your baby which should be good too.
Hi Kirstwoll & welcome to the thread, do you hail from Wollongong by any chance?I have a dear friend who lives there...
Pregpan, a dream feed is when you pick the baby up and feed them while they're still half asleep just before you go to bed, I've never done it (can't stand the thought that the baby might wake up) but it's supposed to stretch them so they sleep longer before their first nighttime get up.
Noni, thanks for the tip, so far she's sucked it all down with a surprised look on her face, it's actually a pleasant minty flavour - not so sure why others thought it was bad???
Gracie, I would co-sleep in a flash if I wasn't such a heavy sleeper, you do what is right for you and pooh to everyone else!!!!
Pregpan, loooove the photos of Noah, just can't get over how much hair he's got, soooo gorgeous! And he has deep eyes too...Sorry to hear about your friends, make sure you have someone you can debrief to about your own feelings - it's important when you're supporting someone in a really heavy situation.
Fianne - not long before you will be out and about again, once you're driving suddenly the whole world opens up once more...hope you can keep yourself sane until then!
Well guess what, I've had some very exciting news: I am GOING TO UNIVERSITY next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got the acceptance letter yesterday.It'll be distance ed so I can quite happily chug thru one unit at a time ad infinitum until it's done. Wooo hoooo! Also we went out for Chinese soup last night Jazmum, so it was later 9.00ish when E went to bed, and she slept right through until 5.00am (!!!) OMG how GOOD do I feel today!
ETA - Arte - loooove the smiley photos of William!
